The Lake Hotel is located next to a beautiful lake and in a National park. The views are stunning. Waking up here every morning was a treat. The staff, facilities and food are all great too! The dinner at the restaurant was unexpected. It was one of our best meals in Ireland. We will definitely come back!

Nice hotel
Location, food, lounge spaces and staff were all good. However, the bedroom thermostat isn't linked to aircon. Room became hot overnight even though we turned down the temp. and opening the windows didn't work. The noise from the corridor and other bedrooms was bad too.
